Law & Order sucked me in this afternoon and evening as it is wont to do, and that episode where the mom killed her autistic kid who in show was diagnosed with Oppositional Defiance Disorder was on, and all I could think about was how I'd just like to hang my younger son on a hook for brief breaks but JESUS LADY you killed your kid! With latex!

Briscoe and Green
@Shelter Got it, thanks.
I love this shorthand.
@wolfwoman
Every time this episode pops up I'm like Oh it's that bitch.
She is evil.
@Shelter Yeah, I don't recall that long ago but I feel that vicariously right now. I really am going back to some old faves like L&E, Hill Street Blues, etc. Oh and let's not forget Barney Miller and Night Court, to have some fun!
Barney Miller was the greatest cop show of all time.
And it had the greatest theme music of all time.
@wolfwoman
My dad was a cop and he was like, this is totally what it's like.
@Shelter True. I was in LE for 15 years (came to it late retired early)
and actually a lot of it was mild compared to what went on ... TV couldn't really show most of it! But definitely a lot of pranks, practical jokes, and dark humor.
@Shelter OMG! Was that an old episode, or recent? I stopped watching a long time ago ... DD says I should revisit and take in the newer ones ... but eek!
